College Kid's Take on Cram

Having thirty-two photos of myself and a couple of friends at a
birthday dinner might be considered excessive. Between the bad
angles, selfies, the photos with the birthday boy, and of course,
the delicious sirloin and potatoes that I ordered, it seemed I
couldn't click that capture button fast enough.
Call it narcissism, call it a safeguard against late-life memory
loss, or call it a symptom of that endless search for a better
profile photo on Facebook; the result is still the same. Forty-eight
megabytes of memory taken up in on my phone a two hour span. In layman’s terms that is about
eighteen songs worth of memory, gone, devoured in part by that beautiful sirloin, not to
mention the multitude of selfies I sent a friend who couldn't be there.
In this new age of virality, where any moment of a person’s life can be captured in a photograph
and shared instantaneously across a growing multitude of social media platforms, it is almost
justified that myself and many of my peers have become something of photo-addicts.
This is just how it has become. My friends often joke that if something doesn't have photo
proof then it didn't happen. This is absurd of course, but it’s that mentality that pervades my
thought-process when I am out for dinner, drinks, or even just having a good hair day. Have to
show it or no one will ever know it happened.
That means, when something like Cram comes around, it’s hard
for someone as photo-oriented as myself, or the friends I have
who use it, not to drool and jump for joy. The pure satisfaction
that comes with seeing that little notification telling me how
much space I just saved on my phone for more photos is equal
to the satisfaction of finding that perfect filter adjustment on my
latest Instagram. To think that this satisfaction comes with
the first three-hundred photos free is simply unbelievable to
me.
I put those thirty-two photos from my buddy’s birthday dinner
into the Cram app, and, at a rate less than two seconds a photo,
I was granted with this image on the right:
Almost twenty-three megabytes saved. Twenty-three!
All that space in exchange for the two minutes I waited for
the app to download and the minute it took me to click the
photos to use and wait for them to be compressed.
All the sudden, I’m patting myself on the back for not throwing
another hundred dollars for that 64 gigabyte iPhone and
sticking with the 16gb. Thank you, Cram, for giving my selfies
more space in my photo album to call home.
